Ram Organization

[WhitehawkEQ]

How many out there know the answer to this.

Q1. What does it mean when a ram module says 4GB on the module? Is it:


A. 4G x 8 bits
B. 4G x 16 bits
C. 4G x 32 bits
D. 4G x 64 bits
--------------------------------
Q2. When a system is said to have 4GB ram modules for 16GB of ram, how is it organized?

A. 16G x 8 bits
B. 8G x16 bits
C. 4G x 32 bits
D. 2G x 64 bits

Badly worded questions!

A consumer module is 64-bit width. An answer could only make sense if referring to chip level, but chip densities can vary it isn't fixed. Look at the 1Rx8 vs 1Rx16 thing that kicked off on laptops some years ago. Modules using the latter had half the number of chips on it for the same capacity.

Ok, take a 1Rx8 4GB module, each chip will be a 512MBx8 bit chip so you get a 512Mx64 bit module (see link)
